But anyway, let's not get too far in the weeds with that.

Liam, what do you make of these, this sort of spate of defections?

Starmer’s new Trump headache and making comedy under occupation

Obviously the most high profile so far being Robert Jenrick.

Just driving past the acreage of Dulwich College's sports field, it didn't seem like it was very far outside the elite.

the state of this ravaged country that has been completely destroyed and is on its knees.

I'd be trying to find out who was in charge.

I guess the advantage to reform is that they can make the case that they're bringing in people who have experience of government.

Pod Save the UK
Starmer’s new Trump headache and making comedy under occupation

They have experience of fucking up government, but experience is experience.

He is the drawer of reform.
